It had to be some form of psychological test. But if it wasn't... Ryder liked to be prepared and she wasn't happy with the way things were going. Not that anyone around the table was. Their arguments had rapped at her brain so she could not think straight, so she had intervened. And now, Mr Bane was back. She climbed slowly down from the chair, aware that his eyes were watching her, though she could not see them.

"Enough! This time I shall not mess around. We shall begin."
